Chief Engineer Healey and his associate engi-
neers Friday last, completed the surveys
for the new bridge over the river at Cairo, and
force of one hundred men will be put at work
this morning on the great enterprise. Both ap-
proaches will be one and half mile long each,
and the bridge proper between the piers, will be
nearly mile long. making the entire structure
about four miles long. The Kentucky approach
will run mainly through Capt. W. P. Halrday's
land, and he has made all necessary concessions.
The Illinois approach will not require any trestle
work, but will be solid earth and stone work, be-
ginning at point some distance above the Cross
levee on the main line, and coming down in a
curve, parallel with the main track and the
Cross levee. striking the river about opposite
the cotton compress. The bridge will be fifty
three feet above high water, which will bring it
one hundred and five feet above low-water mark
there. The grade will be about thirty Eve feet
to mile, and the top of the first stone pier on
the Illinois side will be about thirty-six and q
half feet above the top of the levee.

were more graphic because of their
effort and evident sincerity, than from
their diction and ideas. The same expert

Debate ON the German ARMY H.ll.


BERLIN. Jan. 8--Printed copies of the amend
ed army bill will be distributed in the Reichstag
on Monday.
The debate on the second reading of the meas
ure, on Tuesday, promises to be stormy one.
Prince Bismarck has announced his intention OF
remaining in Berlin until the fate of the bill
shall have been decided. In government cir
cles less confidence is felt to the
passage of the bill. and there indica-
tions shat Prince Bismarck is open to
a compromise 1t is believed he would accept
an amendment limiting the operations of the bill
to five years, but he will certainly reject any
PROPOSAL for term of three years, and will inn
mediately dissolve the Reichstag if that body
persists in thus amending the bill. The govern
ment relies upon the fears of dissolution in
fuencing the members of the Centre and Pro-
gressists parties, and one OF the results OF
an election would probably be
reduction in their numbers. The temper dis
played by the Clerical members of the commits
sion toward the close of the debate showed no
symptoms of dread of dissolution of Parlia-
ment Herr Wndthorst, the Clerical leader,
bad sharp interchange of words with General
Won Schellendorff on remark by the former
that Germany was living in state OF pro-
found peace; that she was in alliance
with Austria ana Russia, while she was men,
aced nowhere. General Won Schellendorff de-
clared that as War Minister he had nothing to
do with political considerations adding that the
government had not had reason to expect that
the Reichstag would oppose the septennate.
The bill had already been twice voted, and he
was confident that the Reichstag would finish by
voting for it again.
Herr Windthorst responded angrily that the
Reichstag would make no concession beyond
what the commission recommended, even il
menaced with coup d. etat
Further soreness was caused by General Won
Schellendorff's refusal to state or discuss what
financial resources the government relied on to
cover the extra expenditures. On the whole,
the prospects are unfavorable to the govern
| ment. The voting in the Reichstag will prob
ably be in the ratio for the triennate as in

KENTUCKY's DEADLY EEUDs.
A Dance Ends With Pistols Followed
by Murder.

A Mount Sterling (Ky.) special says
There was dance at Judge Meuix's house
In Morehead last night with the usual con.
comitants OF pistols, whiskey, and death.
Mason Keeton, a young man OF dissIpated
habits, was killed, and John Rogers,
another young man OF similar procliyities,
narrowly escaped q like fate. As 1t was he
lost one finger OF his left hand. Ii seems
to have been some outcropping OF that fac
tional strife which had made Rowan county
synonym for bloodshed. Rogers, who
is of the Tolliver clan, had been
dancing with the daughter OF the murdered
John Martin, and when he had ceased
dancing Keeton took his place. There was
rivalry for the girl, and Keeton was elm Z.
FILTERED because Rogers had shown the
young woman attention. Rogers had no
sooner left the premises than Keeton left
his cbarmer's presence and followed him to
the street. They met soon after, and
Rogers, in perfect good bumor, asked why
he was not dancing. Keeton's only reply
was to draw his pistol and fire, the bullet
taking one Of Rogers's fingers of. After
the shot Keeton ran into the Powers Hotel
Office and shut the door, not In time, low
ever, to escape fusilade which followed
him from parties on the street who had wit
pessed the difficulty. IL was discovered
after the smoke had cleared away that he
bad been shot through the heart aud was
dead. It's not known who fired the fatal
shot. About six shots were fred in all.
Rogers had no pistol, as was discovered at
the coroneI's inquest, and the jury found
that Keeton came TO his death bya pistol
shot at the hands Of some unknown party.
Rogers Is of good family, and bears good
reputation. He is a nephew OF s. 4.
Young, formerly county attorney OF Rowan
county. Keeton was pugpacious man,
and bis death is not matter Of surprise.
Excitement Is at feyer-heat in Morehead,
and further bloodshed may be expected.

A Philadelphia telegram says: Eighty sor-
ry-lookipg men gathered in Pari0r Z OF the
Continental Hotel tonight TO attend meet
ing Of the Oleomargarine Protective Asso-
citation. The meeting had been called pre-
vious TO January LIST. Most OF the men,
bers had learned OF the decision OF the
Supreme Court banishing bogus butter
from the State, and feeling OF heaviness
seemed TO hang over The meeting, and
il was long after the stated time
before the meeting was called TO order.
George Il. Paul presided. Atthe last regu.
lar meeting quite an amount OF business
connected with the manufacture and sale OF
oleomargarne had been left over for future
consideration, but as no one seemed In
clined to call any OF IL up, Mr.. Paul spoke,
saying that he believed all present must
have heard that the law had decided against
them. and that as all were law-abiding citi-
zens the manufacture and sale OF oleomir-
gsTine would stop as far as they were
concerned. To this all present agreed.
Silence was next In order. After ten
minutes had passed, G. III. Davis informed
the dealers that the council OF the order
had not decided upon any course OF action
as vet. A resolution was then adopted re.
ferring all matters brought up to the Execu-
tive Committee, with full power to act.
Several clippings from city newspapers
were read, and those favorable to oleomar-
garine were thanked. Judge Gordon was
also given the thanks OF the members for
his able dissenting opinion regarding the
constitutlonality Of the Sales.--future. Near
ly half a score Of new members were re-
ceived and the meeting adjourned.
Magistrate Severn this afternoon decided
seven oleomargarine cases tried before him
last Wednesday and held under advisement
until after the decision Of the Supreme
Court had been given. The act under
which they were tried having been declared
constitutional the magistrate fined each de.
PENDANT 800. Six additional cases were
tried this afternoon and 500 fine in each
case was imposed.
